So in 1997 when I was about 14 and a half, we had a writing assessment for my middle school class.<\/p>\n
I was a strong writer and loved language and stories and poetry.<\/p>\n
So I figured I’d write a witty little poem.<\/p>\n
I don’t think I found out the result! I think my mom hid it from me, because I was so pleased with myself. I just came across it while going through boxes with my mom. I GOT A ONE OUT OF TEN, and the comment “student’s essay is not understandable when judged by standards appropriate for his\/her grade level.” They failed me! WTF?!?!!!!<\/p>\n
I mean, wtf. How on earth could I fail a writing assessment? So I glanced at it and remembered spending so much time on it….I made it rhyme and everything! Then …. I thought about it from a teacher’s point of view. What if *I* had to read and grade this? and started laughing my head off. She probably thought I was being a smart-a$$! LOL HILARIOUS.<\/p>\n
check it out.<\/p>\n
Title: The Horror Cafeteria
\n(I am NOT describing C.F.Patton’s cafeteria)<\/p>\n
Dank, dark, unpleasant to my nose
\nWe go in and sit, like we are supposed
\nMy friend and I don’t like the food.
\nIt only helps depress our mood.
\nThe cafeteria ladies are okay,
\nbut I can’t stand them every day.
\nThe benches are hard on my tush.
\nIt feels like I’m sitting on a prickly bush.
\nI pack my lunch, but my friend does not.
\nShe must eat it fast or it will rot.
\nI count two, on the menu of the day,
\nthat won’t make me throw up right away.
\nI like the school very much.
\nJust be careful where you eat your lunch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
